● In this regard, observe the relevant chapters in the documentation associated with the
components of the complete drive system.
● Repair any damage that occurred on the machine/motor spindle.
Note
When operating the motor spindle with a converter, refer also to the Operating
Instructions of the frequency converter if electrical faults occur.
Table 9- 1 Key to causes of faults and remedial measures
A Overload Reduce load
B Interruption of a phase in the supply ca-
Check frequency converters, feeder cables and contactors, if necessary
C Interruption of a phase in the supply after
Check frequency converters, feeder cables and contactors, if necessary
D Converter output voltage too high, fre-
Check the settings on the frequency converter, perform automatic motor
Stator winding incorrectly connected
Check the winding circuit and, if applicable, the wiring of the contactors
F Winding short circuit or phase short cir-
Measure the winding resistances and insulation resistances, repair after
consultation with manufacturer
G
Cooling water not connected/switched off
Check cooling water connection/switch on cooling water
Water connection / pipes defective
Locate leaks and seal as necessary, or consult the manufacturer
H
Cooling water flow rate too low
Increase cooling water flow rate
Inlet temperature too high
Set correct inlet temperature
I Heat dissipation impeded by deposits Clean the surface of the drives and ensure that the cooling air can flow
Cooling air inlet/outlet is blocked by for-
Remove the blockage and ensure that the cooling air can flow in and
J Insufficient shielding for motor and/or
Check the shielding and grounding
Excessive drive controller gain
L
Rotating parts are grinding
Determine cause and adjust parts concerned
Foreign bodies within the motor
Decouple rotor and rebalance
Rotor out of round, shaft bent
Please consult the manufacturer
Align machine set, check coupling
P Cooling water pipes/water connection
Locate leaks and seal as necessary, or consult the manufacturer
